One way to increase your company's ROM is to seek out and destroy ROM-lowering traits. Simons and Dávila have identified five ROM-destroying business practices which are related to the test questions above.
A "sky's the limit" strategy is one sure sign of a lack of focus and, consequently, low ROM. Similarly, if you're tracking too many performance measures (such as customer satisfaction and market share), that's another sign of trouble. And if people don't know which performance variables they're accountable for, that's yet another enemy of ROM.
Has creating reports become a goal in itself? Beware, says Simons, because another sign of a ROM that's not as high as it should be is the failure to control planning and budgeting. Finally, if employees don't know what your company strategy is, ROM suffers. No matter how well you manage yourself, a failure to communicate goals to others limits your ROM.
ROM also has some reliable allies that help raise it. Clarity about strategic boundaries is one. This means everyone in your company knows what types of opportunities are off-limits. It also helps if key performance variables are widely known and understood, which means there can't be many. And when reports, forecasts and other paperwork are only prepared if they add to the bottom line, that's another ROM ally.

LAURA LEE FRITZ'S quilts don't seem like the kind of quilts you'd want to curl up with on a cold winter's night.
They look more like they belong on a museum wall.
Nonsense, the longtime Novato resident would say. While her long arm computerized machine quilts have won numerous awards for their artistry, Fritz is all about the cozy.
"I've always been fascinated by colored thread, fabric and design, and it all comes together in quilts," she says.
Fritz will be a featured quilter at "Quilt San Francisco: The Evolution of an Art Form," the 15th biennial show and sale sponsored by the San Francisco Quilters' Guild.
"She's extremely creative," says Caroline Lieberman, a guild charter member and founding president. "Her designs have always been exciting and contemporary. She has a real sense of design and how to make the design stand out without losing the idea behind the quilt."
Fritz isn't even sure why she got attracted to quilts — neither her mother nor her mother's mother quilted.
"Quilting smacked of not having enough, so you had to make do," she says.
A Berkeley-raised product of the hippie era, she started embroidering wearable things and then added appliqué. At some point she discovered quilt-making, and she was prodded to enter the Great American Quilt Contest, which called for designs celebrating the Statue of Liberty's centennial. That was in 1986.
She's never looked back.
She wasn't making country calico coverlets and patchwork pillows; it was serious quilting, museum-quality art quilting.
"The calico fabrics have their own story, but that story is only one of a million stories you can tell with fabric," she says. "I'm drawn to much bolder lines or plain fabrics that can show off my stories in the tread line."
But that doesn't mean she doesn't incorporate tradition in her quilts; traditional quilting doesn't mean cutesy.
"You go back into the late 1800s and the fabrics that were designed and available and being used by quilters back then were as psychedelic as any weird artwork that came out of the hippie drug experiences of the '60s," she says. "My quilting is deeply rooted in the folk arts and deeply rooted in world imagery, but I always have a hard time deciding how to label it."
Fritz switched to machine stitching from hand-quilting after she developed carpal tunnel syndrome.
She was one of the first in California to have a long arm computerized machine, says Fritz, who works part time at Dharma Trading Co., a fiber arts supplier in San Rafael.
The stitching on her quilts are elaborate and fascinating — hieroglyphics, poetry, surfers, whales, volcanoes, egrets, even Mount Rushmore.
"I don't know any hand-quilter who's going to do Mount Rushmore as a continuous line let alone any other way," she says with a laugh.
Fritz digitizes many of her continuous-line quilting designs, which she shares in her numerous books and online, and in classes she had been teaching at Napa Valley College until budget cuts ended the program. She's opening a studio and shop at 1030 Railroad Ave. in Novato this spring where she plans to resume teaching.
Fritz says she's never at a loss for creating new designs. Anything from a chance meeting to an event to a memory can be a story she wants to capture in a quilt. Sometimes, the fabric itself begs to tell a story.
"I don't make quilts based on, are they fitting into my idea of what I have done before," she says. "I don't make rules where I'm using only my own designs, my own conceptual approach to designing the surface of the image you're looking at. Sometimes I'll take traditional designs and launch from those. I just follow the muse."
Lately, she's been exploring ice-dying fabric, prompted by a desire to help her Dharma customers who ask about the process. She's been delighting in the results.
"You get such powerful design just from the way you tie or design your application of the dye that the story of the quilt needs to be discovered," she says. "It's like an abstract painting. If you spend enough time with it, all of a sudden you start seeing people or animals or landscapes emerge. You start reading what's really in the fabric, and for me it's important to discover that."

VPG's Bulk Metal® Foil Current Sensing Resistors Offer Accuracy And Stability For Li-ion Batteries In Avionics
Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG) today announced that it has completed tests showing that its Bulk Metal ® Foil current sensing resistors meet the accuracy and stability required by its aircraft customers for charging of Li-ion batteries in avionics applications. VFR resistors provide a variety of device configurations and ultra-high-precision specifications to help ensure the efficient and safe charging of Li-ion batteries. They include the surface-mount Z-Foil VCS1610Z and VCS1625ZP and the high-power VCS331Z and CSNG (offering 3- or 6-chip constructions).
The Li-ion battery charging process goes through several critical phases to ensure the battery is charged to its maximum capacity, while at the same time following certain safety rules to avoid explosion or fire. Li-ion battery chargers require accurate current and voltage settings and monitoring, as well as a constant current and constant voltage. If these accuracy requirements are not met, the charger will undercharge or overcharge the battery. A failure to completely charge the battery results in reduced battery life, while overcharging can cause batteries to fail due to overheating.
Precision current sensing resistors are required to charge and monitor the Li-ion battery at a known current level until it reaches its final voltage. At this point, the charger circuitry switches over to constant voltage mode, providing the current necessary to hold the battery at this final voltage. For both phases, Bulk Metal Foil resistors provide higher accuracy than other technologies, such as thin film, thick film, and wirewound resistors.
"Li-ion batteries are well established in portable consumer electronics and are now becoming more popular in military and advanced civilian avionics. As the scope of their applications has expanded, so have the stringent requirements they must meet, especially in terms of cell safety and lifetime. For designers, the main challenge in meeting these requirements is in finding the optimal point between undercharging and overcharging through continuous accurate and stable monitoring of input and output current," said Yuval Hernik, senior director of application engineering for VFR.

I got this little herbal offering from Seykayyay. Now, I've had Frank's offerings before, and I can say – with no hint of irony – he is the mad scientist of blenders. And this is no exception. It's loud, it's rambunctious, it feels guilty to drink…but it's all awesome. Taster notes aren't needed, it tastes like its namesake suggests. Granted, I didn't do this as a traditional "tea" by any stretch. I brewed it as a latte, for I think that's how this works best. Tastes like cheesecake that's been melted by dragons, forged in awesome, then returned to my lips.

I had to buy it. I had a coupon to use at Borders and it was on my way home, and I bought it! It's 547 pages, not counting the index, and I can't wait to read every juicy word. I'm surprised he can remember all the stuff that's in there. Bill Wyman published his memoirs "A Stone Alone" in 1997, and it's lengthy, but he kept a diary through the years. I remember the story about how Mick Jagger wanted to "borrow" the journals and Bill said no, because it was going to be his own book. Sorry Mick! There's been so many books written about the Stones, and lots of books with pictures, but this is the one I think will be the juciest. I'll let you know.

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
27 one who does not have the daily necessity, like the other cohanim g'dolim, of offering up sacrifices first for their own sins and only then for those of the people; because he offered one sacrifice, once and for all, by offering up himself. | 27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself. |

The web camera is designed with a Carl Zeiss lens to transmit clear images and has an autofocus system so your images stay razor-sharp, even in close-ups. Seeing the caller in slow motion is finally solved with its high-definition 960x720-pixel video capture and a frame rate of up to 30 frames per second. Seeing your family and friends through Logitech's web camera is like seeing a high resolution picture since it has software-enhanced 8 million-pixel still-image capture capabilities. The web camera also offers an ultra-wide field of view and intelligent face tracking to keep you in the middle of the frame during conversations. It is further enhanced with a 12-inch desktop stand and an adjustable display clip that props on notebook PC panels up to 20mm thick.
You can also add fun and creativity with its Logitech Video Effects, a tool that adds personality in your conversations. The tool recognizes facial features and maps them to help you create three-dimensional animated characters, called avatars, or two-dimensional face accessories. It also has downloadable fun filters for video effects like fisheye, black-and-white background, neon, and more. Another great software to use during conversations is the HP Photosmart Essential that helps you capture, edit, customize and print images taken during a call.
The Logitech QuickCam Pro is packaged with a travel case to protect it when in transit. It also includes a QuickStart guide and QuickCam software CD for one-click video e-mail; QuickCapture for photos; webcam software applications for Windows and Windows Live Messenger; and Skype with free full-screen video calling.

moster commented on the blog post Renewables Sorely Missing from Nuclear Power Debate
You'd still need up to a 100 of those at minimum for each current traditional plant.
Without some serious technological advance such as safe fusion, not an answer.
Small scale energy saving, solar, recycling and radical habitual changes are the required answers, there's only a small number of people able, willing and motivated to do such, let alone if they can at all afford it. Think also all former Soviet states, Asia, etc.
HappenI guess we're simply screwed unless we make a technilogical breakthrough in energy
moster commented on the blog post Renewables Sorely Missing from Nuclear Power Debate
But it's doable.
Doable but not feasible. I'm all for renewable, waning of fosile fuel, but those numbers will never make it into reality. 4 million mega windmills. Stretch them out on a field and it is 2000 x 2000 windmills.My opinion is, we get fusion figured out, or we're screwed. Perhaps we shouldn't even bother with the US turning fascist and all escalations, wars, violence and polution, we might off ourselves well before…..
moster commented on the blog post I guess they knew where to find him
Nobody is 'chilling his free speech'. It's a mistake these dumbasses make all the time; the right to free speech does not ex clude anyone from sueing you for the consequences. What these trolls really want is to spout all their verbal diarhea without having to face any repercusions. It don't work that way (although with current push over D's and a corrupted O in the WH it seems to be the default…)

moster commented on the diary post Richard Holbrooke Dead by Phoenix Woman.
RIP Holbrooke and my sympathy to his family and friends. I can not condone celebrating his death. His actions have been wrong and have resulted in great human losses and tragedy, yet, I don't think it was done in the name of evil or greed, rather as a result of the all too common ignorance, [...]

I did not see any of those threads indeed, I mostly read FP articles.I found and checked your naming thread and it seems a fair number of people share my concern.

moster commented on the diary post A Line Too Bright to Ignore by themalcontent.
"New Progressive Alliance" Good luck with that name. The most important thing is that people can identify with it, such a name smells of enthusiastic highly involved ideological political activists. Most people are not and will not identify. Pick a name that emphasizes 'we the people', 'working class', 'equality', 'free speech', etc, all values we [...]
moster commented on the blog post Early Morning Swim: Economist Simon Johnson Says Tax Cut Deal Irresponsible on Rachel Maddow
This is already a done deal.
The Washington post has numerous articles up from 'serious' journalists who all manage to explain how bad a deal this is, and how it's in its finishing stages. And how it will please the 'independents' (forget about a majority of the American people, formerly known as 'WE THE PEOPLE' being against the cuts for the wealthy)
New York times lined up an op-ed today from really serious people how this is the best deal possible and we should stop crying about it. A lot of sympathy for 'the left' of course, someone might forget NYT is a 'liberal' news paper, but suck it up little people.
MJ this morning came out in full force, most notably Joe got the memo this morning to stop ridiculin Obama, to stop exclaiming how Obama could have played and won, stop explaining The GOP would be giving in to the unemployment benefits in the end regardless, stop all that and get with the program on how 'GOOD' this deal is.
Joe has seriously serious and reliable peeople on of course, Jim Cramer, Mark Halperin, Politico sheep, and of course 'all economics' who allegedly all agree the stimulus effect and job creation power of giving a couple more billion to Paris Hilton is enormous.I wonder, are we among the only few little frogs noticing the kettle being heated up?
moster commented on the blog post "Show me where the compromise touched your principles?"
Axelrod is having a fucking 'uuh uuh uuh best compromise uh uh uh and uh uh' goddamn stutter spin attack on MJ right now
Is he on fucking drugs??
moster commented on the blog post Early Morning Swim
Why do Democrats keep on acting as if this is something inevitable that will happen regardless? "I regret this deal coming through", "I really wanted something different"
You ARE the fucking goverment.
You CAN say NO!!!!
EACH and EVERY ONE of YOU ARE the fucking goverment!!! You can VOTE on each and every bill or proposal AS YOU WISH or as your CONSCIOUS tells you to, and do the work for THE PEOPLE, as a goverment BY THE PEOPLE should do…..
Unless of course you admit each and every one has been bought and paid for, and Obama is the excuse tool of choice.
I understand….
Forgive me for being so gullible…
moster commented on the blog post Late Night: "Please Be Patient," As a Battle-Cry, Sucks
That interview was as cringe worthy, empty and waffling as I expected. Both Obama and Stewart lost in this impossible lose-lose interview. What was Stewart thinking? Only 'serious' people can do a sit down with the prez and softball an agreeable msm story.
Most telling part was when Stewart used the word 'timid' and Obama shot forward out of his chair. The truth hurts the most I guess.
But again, Stewart tried the impossible, but settled on the 'respectfull critical note'. All the obvious left unsaid
How about DADT?
How about DOMA?
How about prosecuting torture?
How about transparancy? Healthcare on C-SPAN?
How about the wars and breaking Bush' surge records?
Financial reform?
Social security?
Lobbyists continuing to set the agenda?
Wishy washy Kagan nomination?
The war against 'liberal fringes'?I could keep on going, I guess Stewart decided to stick with the least toxic 'criticism'. Sorry Jon, poor judgement, never ever do that again, you lost a lot of credits in my book, even if it was well intended.

What the fuck? Whitewashing? It's a danish fairy tale! You can't just throw in diversity for the sake of it. It has to make sense, thats like if people were like "Why are there only Chinese people in Mulan?" Because it takes place in fucking China before anyone immigrated there!THANK YOUTHANK."typical light hair, fair skinned, blue eyes" The only other Disney princesses that fits that description all the way would be Cinderella and Aurora. The only other one close is Rapunzel. Disney does extremely well with making the animated princesses fit the time period and area they are from. Let me show you a thing.
Alright this is Snow White. The whole reason this is her name is because her skin was as white as the fucking snow. She had hair as black as a raven. And lips as red as a rose. Snow White was originally a GERMAN fairytale. Ya know what color they are in Germany? White….
Now this bitch right here is Cinderella. This movie was made in 1950. Ya know what was going on in 1950? Segregation. So I doubt that in 1950 they would make some black fairytale princess considering Walt Disney was white and all the employees at Disney were white, and I'm sorry but in the 1950's all the white people were racists. Yes, Walt Disney was fucking racist. But that's because of when he grew up and how things were. He was actually a pretty loving and kind man and I'm sure that he would've had an open mind to ending segregation if he had grew up different. FYI Cinderella is French. French people be white.
This chick right here. Her name is Aurora. Her movie was made in 1969. There were still racist little bastards then. But ya know what, she's also freaking French. And in her original fairytale her hair was the color of sunshine gold, and lips that shamed the red red rose.
Now meet Ariel. She is often times many people's favorite cause she's fun and quirky and her hair looks like a fucking fire truck. Her fairytale is Danish. Danish people are white. The Danish fairytale though? It's actually based off of stories sailors told of seeing this girl with bright red hair and the tail of a fish. Idk, but have you ever seen a naturally red headed black woman. Cause I haven't….
Now Belle here is the frenchiest of the French. Her story is actually based in France. Not just a nice fairytale that was made in France. Again, French people are white. But you see light hair on her. No. She is brunette! And she has brown eyes. Nuff said.
Now this…. this is Jasmine. She is not white, she does not have light hair, and she does not have light eyes. She is brown. And beautifully so. And she's not so sweet and fragile either. She is independent and don't need no man.She is Arabic and she looks like it. I don't see any white washing here. See this is where white washing would ACTUALLY come into play. If they made Princess Jasmine, based off of Princess Badroulbadour from an Arabic folk tale, and made her white. A white girl in Agrabah. Nope.
My personal favorite. Pocahontas. Again. No white washing. She is nice and brown, and has nice Indian features. Thing about her? She was a real lady. In fact her sequel actually told her story better than the first one.
Meet mulan. She's Chinese. She saved China. Nuff said.
This lovely lady is Tiana. She made a lot of ground as being the first black Disney Princess. She was from New Orleans. She's american. This movie was based in the 1920's and they did her right because she was a waitress, working 3 jobs just to make a few dollars a day. She lived in the slums/the ghetto with all the other colored folk. They kept it right to the time period they were representing but they also made her fa-boo!
Now this chicky is my girl punzy. She is the first Disney Princess since 1991 that was white. I think 20 years time is a good amount of time to bring in another white Princess. Disney had wanted to do Rapunzel for a long time. She's one of the classic fairytale princesses. Everyone know who this chick was, but there was no Disney movie about her. The reason why they didn't she make her movie in the 90's was because she was white. She was just another, golden haired, fair skinned, damsel in distress. I am soooo happy they waited on this one too. Cause after being in the works for so long they took this story about a chick with long hair being rescued by a Prince, and they made her this barefoot, rebellious, bad-ass, sweetheart, that was magical and already a Princess. In fact her "prince" wasn't a prince. He was a thief. And the coolest thing, so that she wasn't just a typical blonde princess, they cut off her hair and it turned brown. So now she's this edgy but sweet brunette, short-haired, girl. Also, the original fairytale is German, so Disney stayed true to it's roots and kept her in a German setting.
This is Princess Merida. She is Scottish. Technically white. But still not just some American accent, blonde, white girl. She made a big leap in the Princess world because unlike all the others who are all strong too, she didn't even find love in the movie. Who knows, maybe they'll make a sequel a few years later where she's older and more grown up and she gets married. Fun fact, Brave is loosely based around Scottish folklore of King Fergus.
So yeah, white washing would be if they made the beautiful ethnic ladies here just white. Alot of fairytales come from mainly white countries. Disney is just trying to tell a good story. Maybe they should look more into some Arabic fairytales, maybe some African ones. But all they're doing is staying true to stories and lands.I love you.
If anybody who follows me agrees with this bullshit please unfollow me. This post is a piece of shit. 'mainly white countries' my ass! Go ahead and believe your whitewashed histories of the world and go on believing people of color only started showing up in most parts of the world when planes were invented but you are shit wrong! FUCK! THIS SHIT IS GOING TO GIVE ME AN ANUERISM!

Some research suggests that we may have an inborn need to zone out once in a while. In an exploratory study, researchers observed three babies who turned away or blocked their eyes in response to overstimulation. Mothers who recognized this behavior and gave their children needed downtime had happier, easier babies. Give yourself a time-out during a hectic day: Push your chair away from your desk, kick up your feet, and close your eyes. Think about something that takes your mind off the daily grind, like fun plans for the weekend.

When compared to the "civilian" mags that I no longer buy, it seems a model of economy to me. I find that between PS and ON, I learn and can judge applicable a fair range of products, but more importantly, I can start thinking about systems because reading of a product, service or technique in these magazines helps me to design (I hope) a better way of doing things.
Three examples come to mind: I have purchased a FilterBoss dual Racor fuel pump, an idea I saw in a less formal form in ON. I saw in PS the idea of having a reel of line stowed vertically off the arch for stern anchoring or reaching the shore. And finally, I started thinking about all the problems caused by seawater intrusion into fuel and water tanks from deck fills and topside vents, and this lead me to a great old book called Small Steel Craft by Ian Nicholson. Lo and behold, in there I learned that it once was (and may still be) customary to route all vents to centerline goosenecks on pilothouse cabin tops. I think I can improve on this by making a vent manifold with separate shutoffs, and by routing the vent stack, so to speak, inside a brass pole, which can double as a handhold in the pilothouse AND can have a drain **** at the lower end. Even if the boat rolls with the engine running, I have a shot at keeping seawater out of my tankage. Granted, that might be the least of my concerns, but the ideas were sparked by reading PS and Ocean Navigator and realizing that the way things are done today for the average cruising boat is neither sensible nor applicable to the distance cruiser, and the right idea might be an old idea awaiting rediscovery.
Sure, I read the product comparisons and gear reviews, but mainly these magazines get me thinking productively, I hope, about how to improve my vessel.

Hana's Suitcase
Karen Levine
A true story about a suitcase that arrived at a children's Holocaust education center in Tokyo in 2000. The curator went on a search to find out about the little girl, Hana Brady, who owned the suitcase - what happened to her? Did she live or die? What was her life like?
I listened to the audio book - it was only 2 discs - a short but haunting story.
Thankless in Death
JD Robb
Another in the "In Death" series about a NY homicide detective named Eve Dallas. This time, they know the murderer right away but have to find him. And they always do.

Get physical with your data
Human connection
BRIDGE eliminates the complexity of web tools, enabling a wide base of users to navigate and share information.
BRIDGE's visual interactive workspace and tangible interfaces change the way we interact with information.
Physical interaction
BRIDGE connects the limitless potential of Internet and the digital space to the sensory richness of our physical world.

JSK Knight Fellow
Through extensive, human-centered research we have looked into how people interact with digital and analog data. During the research, we landed on an intriguing aspect: how the visual, physical, and ambient presence of data influence the ways we interact with it. We built a prototype to test the core function and we're refining it based on our user feedback.
Bridge is to propose more intuitive ways for us to interact with the digital world, by elevating what comes natural for us. Ultimately it will act as a bridge that connects people to people, physical to digital, and people to technology.
Navigating, creating and sharing digital artifacts are complex tasks preventing large groups of users from enjoying the benefits and the social engagement derived from the trove of information and interactions available on the Internet.
We believe that a new breed of simple, innovative interfaces rooted in our own physical experiences will help fill this gap. BRIDGE explores this opportunity.
BRIDGE is an ecosystem of hardware and software that turns any surface into an interactive space, connecting the digital and the physical worlds. Using tangible interfaces, people can intuitively navigate, create, and share digital information.
The interactions we have on laptops, mobile devices and workstations are tailored for efficiency and productivity, but divorced from experiential engagement that happens in the physical world. BRIDGE makes it easy for individuals and groups to digitally interact with digital information by using the physical affordances that exist in our natural world.

nvm answered my own question.
Junior Member
To be honest, I like most of the changes, except for the loss of lvl 2 ganking As a jungler that jungles Shen, WW, Nocturne, Rengar, Hecarim, Shaco, and occasionally Darius (if I want to play him and top is taken), I feel like most of these changes benefit most of my junglers since Shen, Nocturne, Hecarim, and WW usually dont gank till they go back to heal and get their boots anyway. I am worried about how this will effect Rengar tho, who already has some trouble clearing his jungle (at least I do with boots pots and full AD and Armor runes), and recent patches have nerfed him incredibly hard so that clearing has even been harder with his nerfed Q... You have any feedback on how Rengar is doing in the new jungle Statikk?
I really like the changes. We still can leash. Diferent way,. The mosters attack anithing close to them. Perfecty u can ask a partner stand in the middle of u and a monster for a short duration in the case of feedle. Any way i repeat! Keep an eye on Shaco!! He will be the only jungler in the game ho can destroy blue or red easy...that is a grate advantage. U can doit fast and go kill the other jungler.. fast too.. He will be low health always. Thx
steak style
How does Nunu fit into the new jungle? Will counterjungling be more important?
I'm very curious to know how many junglers we will lose in this process and maybe, if we will get some new ones. Also if maybe Sej will make a comeback!
wow now rammus really cant jungle or gank now first gank for rammus will be at lvl 4-6 unless he just says to hell with the red buff and goes for a lvl 1 gank
War and Peace92
sounds like jungling is gonna be harder. Relying on gp5s won't be good if aoe dmg is getting nerfed for tanks, having to rely on jungling items more with harder chance for early game ganks will prolly make champs that rely on that early game more worse. Its just if junglers are what spice up these games by being that X factor when ppl lane, why make it harder. I can already imagine lanes screaming for ganks while dealing with this new stuff. But thats prolly me being negatively realistic, cuz i main jungle n stuff
Sounds like the only thing left is to start blasting Guns 'n Roses ("I pity da fool" who doesn't get this).

arkieology commented on the blog post Every Republican In America Is Running For President
Money has been on strike for about three years now. They are the designated creators of money in our economy. They inject money into the economy through loans. They quit making loans. They went on strike. They have caused more havoc in not doing their job than all the riots in the world.
The solution to the organized theft of trillions of dollars is to punish any one who has achieved a middle class living. They wish to violate the labor agreements they have made with public employees, to repudiate the iou's that the government has put in the social security fund. They are arguing that the solemn pledge of the u.s. government is subject to "budget" decisions.
The banks were bailed out and they still have yet to resume normal lending. How is it then that they are making so much money?
Lincoln knew what to do when the banks tried to charge 25% on loans, we printed our own money, the Greenbacks. He ran the war with them.
What we have suffered through is the "booky rebellion" in which the pit bosses of wall street have seized the economy and dare us to destroy the economy if we challenge their position.
A two trillion dollar infrastructure repair and construction financed through greenbacks will solve every economic problem in a far better way than attacking public employees and social security.
As for conflict of interest. I retired at 55 to care for my parents. I am a retired teacher. I have a pension in the high three figures. No medical insurance. I have a horse in this race. And I have a long memory. I hope history is not kind to the modern Republican party and their dramatic departure from centuries of American progress. Fox News is taking a wrecking ball to Mount Rushmore. Where is the sanity in that party. And when is anyone going to ask about the most popular government program in Alaska, The Alaska Permanent Fund. How about an American Permanent Fund.

DA shocked by F State activist's death
Comment on this storyBloemfontein - The Democratic Alliance in the Free State on Monday expressed condolences to the family and friends of its slain Bohlokong, Bethlehem, branch chairman.
"It is with tremendous sadness that we learn of the death of one of our most dynamic DA activists," the party's Free State chairwoman Annelie Lotriet said.
Bohlokong branch chairman Thami Vumendlini was murdered when two people hijacked his car on Friday afternoon.
Free State police spokesman Constable Peter Kareli said two young men, aged 17 and 21, were arrested in Arlington.
Lotriet thanked the police for their rapid response.
"Vumendlini was a dedicated DA activist, tirelessly working in Bohlokong to advance the DA's goal of bringing about an open, opportunity society for all."
She said Vumendlini's death left a void, and a determination to work towards a crime-free society. - Sapa

Get cleaning power in a compact washer and dryer combo
Not every home has room for a standard washer and dryer set. A washer and dryer combo will give you the functionality of both units in one compact appliance. Their ventless, self-contained drying system makes them perfect for small places. Their ability to handle large loads means less time spent doing laundry and more time doing the things you love.
Modern combo washer dryers are more efficient than their predecessors. With fewer moving parts, these machines have reduced energy intake and can be less likely to malfunction. Sears carries many models that have SmartDiagnosis features. This will let service centers troubleshoot your unit over the phone or via an app on your smart device. Speeds that can reach 1400 RPM will make for faster dry times. Anti-vibration systems will help your combo washer and dryer run more quietly so you don't have to deal with the floor shaking when you begin to dry your clothes.
Running to the Laundromat is a hassle that can be avoided. Just because you have a small place doesn't mean you need to sacrifice the luxury of in-unit laundry. Sears have a variety of all-in-one washer dryers to help you knock out that mound of dirty clothes sitting in your hamper.

So fake it's not even worth reading. Guess who did it. A guy who called them and told them he did it because "I believe that Sandy Hook is a hoax". This is just another fake story meant to raise more donation money and paint conspiracy theorists as a domestic enemy.
If this was meant to raise more donation money, then why isn't it being promoted as the story on the various Connecticut news sites, instead of just another random headline? Surely if this was meant to raise donations, "the powers that be" could easily influence Courant.com to bump "Hartford Tops List Of U.S. Cities with 'Underwater' Mortgages" as their top story in favor of this one. Instead, it's kind of being buried as a regular headline.
Minor story, they don't want to draw too much attention, just remind people they need more money and that people who don't believe what they do are crazy.
That makes absolutely no sense at all. If you wanted donations, you would do your best to maximize said donations. Both of your comments are built upon a foundation of speculation. You are then representing your speculation as fact. I'm sorry, but it doesn't work that way.
No true conspiracy theorist.
Except this subreddit supports the people who would do this. It's perfectly okay to shame the parents of murdered children here, but it is apparently against the "rules" to point those people out.
There is a breeding ground going on for violently ill paranoia. You just aren't allowed to say where that breeding ground is occurring, because it is a ban-able offense.
Or maybe all this SH is a hoax shit is crazy and the people that belive this are and do shit like this.
Lay off the herb, man. Do yourself a favor.
Your inability to accept reality doesn't mean this story is fake.
there was a whole hate thread in 'tard this morning about this and how evil the 'sandy hookers' are
No idea what 'tard means, but it is shameful that this subreddit supports mentally ill people willing to tear down signs to avoid accepting the truth that children were murdered.
You can blame someone else, but the blame lies squarely with those who tacitly support this behavior.
I fully expect to be banned now because I refuse to play along with the party line. This subreddit wrote the rule just vague enough to make sure dissenting opinion is blocked, but I can't idly stand by when parents (I am one) are ruthlessly attacked after losing their children, and you (along with others) stand by an allow it.
You misunderstood my point, which was just because some lunatic associates himself with a theory means nothing. Yet people will use it as a way to wrap everyone up in the same crazy package like you see in that thread i was talking about. Nowhere in my previous post did i support that person.

Custom Dream Bikes
Gaulzetti Corsa - Seat Mast
6 / 29
The ride has old-school ferocity, yet is free from the battering and resulting imprecision. It's not a period piece, but the essence of the best qualities of hard-nosed racers distilled through modern materials, components, and technology. The seatmast, for instance, contributes to a side-to-side response so quick I initially experienced it as twitchiness. After a few rides I adapted to the bike's readiness to react, and its slashing style was a thrill. (Some of this immediacy also comes from the wheels, custom-built for Gaulzetti by Justin Spinelli of Luxe Wheelworks. They have Enve 1.65 carbon rims, DT 240 hubs, and Sapim CX-Ray spokes.)

I thought I was a nice girl
Full term can be anywhere in the last 4 weeks of pregnancy, am I wrong? I always heard 38-42 weeks. Not 37, not 38, 39, 40. Full term is when baby is ready to come out ANYTIME at the end. I wouldn't consider a specific week. Most don't know the exact day they concieved... so you can't say a certain # of weeks is exactly full term. If anything, you want to say FOR SURE that you're FULL TERM, say 42 WEEKS! LOL! There's no arguing with that one!

Well I guess I'm in trouble. Where I live most babies are born at 37w. We live in really high altitude and that's just the way it is here. Its a wonder any of us survived being born so early...
